Course overview
The Statistical Science MSc is a part-time distance learning programme, offering you the flexibility to study your way. You will develop the advanced techniques and skills required to be a successful statistician in the 21st century.

Teaching is provided through course materials including lecture notes, digital recordings, training videos and practical computer sessions. You have the flexibility to look at these in your own time, meaning you can complete the masters around other commitments. We will support you throughout the degree with live online sessions using Microsoft Teams (or similar) which gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about the module content.
You will study the core statistical concepts of inference and modelling. As you progress, you will cover advanced topics in machine learning, multivariate statistics and time series. These topics will develop your understanding of modern statistical techniques, leading to a dissertation which lets you demonstrate the skills you have gained and develop your ability to study independently. You will be supported by expert lecturers and leading statistical experts and researchers throughout the MSc.
